My Psycho Yandere Actress O and I Became a Hit on a Dating Reality Show with Our Baby [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: “Tong Zhuo, I Love You. Right Now, I Really, Really Want To Kiss Your Lips Swollen.” She Constantly Teases Her, Even Saying She’s A Gigolo. How Annoying.

“Gu Shuming, what is the meaning of this?”

Mu Nan Jia obviously knew Gu Shuming, but the two were clearly not on good terms, otherwise why would they be so confrontational?

Gu Shuming: “I haven’t done anything yet. Why are you getting so antsy?”

Mu Nan Jia: “What you’re saying is already provocative. So I can’t be antsy?”

Gu Shuming: “What’s the use of being antsy? You can’t stop her from spending time with me, can you? You can’t lock her up, can you?”

Mu Nan Jia saw her message and knew what she was saying was true. She felt even more annoyed.

She knew how much Tong Zhuo loved acting. Gu Shuming’s scripts were high-quality and had a unique perspective. She knew Tong Zhuo would definitely like them.

Right now, she didn’t know what Gu Shuming’s motive was for approaching Tong Zhuo, but she knew that Tong Zhuo needed this opportunity, an opportunity she fought for herself.

So, she couldn’t let her give up at this moment, or even disturb her.

Mu Nan Jia didn’t reply to Gu Shuming. She wanted to call Tong Zhuo several times to warn her to be careful, but in the end, she gave up.

She should trust her. The most important thing now was to deal with the matters at hand.

…

Tong Zhuo had no idea about the conversation between Gu Shuming and Mu Nan Jia. The scene Gu Shuming had her audition for was not simple. It required a great deal of effort to try, otherwise she wouldn’t know if she could act it well.

What she found strange was that she was the only one there to audition. When she asked Gu Shuming, the answer she got was: “Isn’t it good to be the only one auditioning? It proves you are excellent.”

Tong Zhuo: “…My goodness, if she keeps praising me like this, I’m going to get a big head.”

It was a full half-hour later that Tong Zhuo was ready.

Fortunately, Gu Shuming didn’t ask her to change clothes for the audition, or the hickeys on her neck would have been exposed. That would have been more than just awkward.

The scene was a monologue that revealed the inner world of the female lead she was to portray.

The female lead had just gone through a major upheaval, and her beliefs had completely collapsed. It was impossible for her to rebuild them, so she was constantly struggling internally, trying to rebuild her faith only for it to silently collapse again, a process of repeatedly tormenting herself, until her spiritual world seemed to have completely gone insane and was in a state of chaos.

Tong Zhuo had naturally never acted in such a complex role before, but she had before she transmigrated into the book. It was similar enough that she could find the feeling again.

When they started filming, she had to try several times to get into character. She looked at Gu Shuming with a hint of embarrassment.

Gu Shuming had originally approached Tong Zhuo with the intention of making Mu Nan Jia jealous. Of course, Tong Zhuo’s temperament did fit her character, which was why she had her come for a proper audition.

Now, seeing that she had been trying several times and still couldn’t get into the right state, she began to wonder if her decision to invite her was right or wrong.

But she decided to give her one last chance.

In that last chance, Tong Zhuo finally got into the zone.

Gu Shuming’s eyes went from unexpecting to wide with a slight glimmer of light, and then to absolute amazement, all within a few minutes.

At this moment, she had to admit that the feeling Tong Zhuo gave her was far beyond her expectations, leaving her in awe.

Even after the shot ended on her teary-red eyes, she still looked at the tears on her face for a long time, unable to snap out of it. It was as if the character from her script was standing right in front of her, her most beloved character.

“Director Gu, was my performance okay?” After she had composed herself, Tong Zhuo came up to her and asked, “Hey, Director Gu, your eyes…”

“Your performance was excellent! This role is yours! It has to be you!” Gu Shuming had teared up at some point, but she wasn’t at all embarrassed. Tong Zhuo’s performance was beyond her expectations, and she was very satisfied.

Now all she had to do was find another female lead, and they could start filming.

“You… you think I can handle it after just one scene?” Tong Zhuo found it hard to believe. Wasn’t this a little too easy?

“I have to post that scene on Weibo and let everyone see how excellent you are! You’ve been overlooked for years!” Gu Shuming was not shy with her praise. Her eyes were full of light as she looked at Tong Zhuo, which made Tong Zhuo’s ears a little red.

She had been praised so little in this world. The Tong family only exploited her and never praised her. The fact that she was getting praised by the notoriously strict Gu Shuming made her happy.

Just as she was feeling happy, her phone rang. It was Mu Nan Jia calling. She answered without a second thought, wanting to share her joy: “Hello? Mu Nan Jia.”

“What happened that made you so happy?” Mu Nan Jia asked with a smile, her voice giving no hint of the strangeness in her expression.

“Oh, I have to tell you, I went to an audition today!”

“Whose show did you audition for?”

“Guess?” Her tone was filled with obvious excitement and elation.

Mu Nan Jia lowered her gaze and suddenly felt a pang of jealousy. She had been coaxing her for so long and couldn’t make her genuinely smile even once, but Gu Shuming could do it so easily…

What should I do? She really wanted to build a greenhouse, lock her inside, and hide her among the flowers, so she could only look at her and no one else.

“Are you busy? If you are, I’ll hang up. Director Gu is inviting me to eat,” Tong Zhuo said. She was unsure about Mu Nan Jia’s situation since she hadn’t answered for a while, so she thought it would be better for her to get to her own business, since Mu Nan Jia was much busier than she was.

“Tong Zhuo, I love you.” Just as Tong Zhuo was about to hang up, Mu Nan Jia suddenly whispered to her.

“…What?” Tong Zhuo’s throat tightened, and her voice trembled unnaturally. She pretended she didn’t hear and tried to hang up again.

“Little Zhuo, you can hear me.” Mu Nan Jia could almost imagine her ears slowly turning red, her eyes fluttering, and her heart beating faster with a hint of panic. Her mood seemed to have improved a little, and she let out a soft laugh.

“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about. Goodbye!”

“A’Zhuo, I might have to go on a business trip for a few days and won’t be able to see you and Yueyue. Can you at least say ‘I love you’ to me?” Mu Nan Jia wouldn’t let her hang up and said in a melancholy voice over the phone.

Tong Zhuo: “…You’re only going away for a few days, not moving to another place. Why are you talking like it’s a life-or-death parting?”

And what was with the ‘I love you’? It made her heart almost beat out of rhythm. Damn it.

“What’s wrong? Are you too afraid to say it? I’ve said it twice to you, and you can’t even say it back…” She sighed sadly: “I’m so pathetic. I’ve fallen for someone who doesn’t like me back.”

Tong Zhuo: “…Keep acting. Just keep acting in front of me.”

“When are you going on your business trip?” Tong Zhuo avoided her question and asked.

“I’m leaving in a little while. I’m really sad to go, but I have to earn money to support my family… otherwise, if I don’t give you any money, you might not even talk to me. Sigh~”

Tong Zhuo: “…That’s enough!”

“Then have a safe trip and earn some money for my fee,” Tong Zhuo said without any sentimentality, subtly correcting her.

“I’m clearly earning money for our family, not a fee for you. Why won’t you admit it? Do you find it so embarrassing to be a gigolo?” Mu Nan Jia asked, seeing that she still wouldn’t respond. She sighed, sounding strangely resentful.

Tong Zhuo: “…Sometimes, I really want to call the police.”

“Mu Nan Jia, did you get a new script? Wake up!”

“I won’t wake up unless you coax me.”

“You… just come back soon. Yueyue and I will… will miss you.” She said the last three words so fast that Mu Nan Jia almost couldn’t hear them.

“Mm-hmm, I’ll miss you both, too. Right now, I really, really want to kiss your lips swollen.”

“…” Tong Zhuo’s face was expressionless, but she was screaming internally. She really wanted her to stop saying such embarrassing things!

“I’m hanging up. Remember to eat.” Tong Zhuo no longer spoke to her and hung up the phone.

“I don’t want to eat. I want to eat you…”

“…” But this time, Tong Zhuo had really hung up and didn’t reply to her anymore.

It was just too embarrassing! Anyone who didn’t know would think they had some unspeakable secret between them! But they didn’t, okay!

For the rest of the day, Tong Zhuo was completely distracted. She made a call to her agent, told her she would participate in the dating show, asked her for the information, and confirmed that she could indeed bring Yueyue along.

After getting a definite answer, she hung up and started to seriously look at the information.

Around 4 PM, she went to Yueyue’s kindergarten on time to pick her up. Mu Nan Jia also sent her the address of the new house and told her to take Yueyue there.

Tong Zhuo first wanted to ask if she had left, but then, remembering how she had flirted so shamelessly this morning, she decided not to out of spite and just sent a cold “Mhm.”

“Mommy Zhuo Zhuo! I was so good today~ Will you… will you praise me, please~” Yueyue had missed Tong Zhuo all day. The moment she saw her, she jumped into her arms, wrapped her arms around her neck, and wouldn’t let go.

Tong Zhuo hugged her back tightly and asked, “What did Yueyue eat today? Did you finish it all?”

“I ate… I ate a lot! My tummy’s so full~ Yueyue didn’t waste a single grain of rice~” She said, patting her little belly, which bounced adorably.

“Then my darling Yueyue is so amazing! I’ll make more delicious food for you tonight, okay?”

Tong Zhuo was amused by her. She called a car to take them home, and the journey was filled with laughter.

When they finally arrived home, Tong Zhuo confirmed several times that this was the new house Mu Nan Jia had prepared for them. Looking at the three-story detached villa, she really felt that Mu Nan Jia was rich and powerful.

She didn’t dwell on it. Wasn’t it a good thing for the child and for herself to live in a better place?

However, when she walked into the house with the child, the moment she opened the door, a figure rushed toward her, pressing their lips directly onto hers—
